Let's face it. We all love [[Rule of Cute|Cute]] things. Some like Cute for [[Nostalgia Filter|Nosta]][[Sonic the Hedgehog|lgia]]. Some like cute for... [[Freud Was Right|Perverted]] reasons. There are even people who think [[Ugly Cute|ugly]] things are [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?|cute!]] But sometimes [[Rule of Cute|Cute]] overlaps with [[Rule of Scary|Terror]]. [[Bonus Points]] if it's something from an animated work. Can overlap with [[Killer Rabbit]].
 
Compare [[Grotesque Cute]]. Not to be confused with [[Cute Is Evil]], but it can overlap.
 
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] &and [[Manga]] ==
* [[Higurashi]]. Practically everyone in it is cute, but sooner or later they all end up killing one another.
* ''[[Elfen Lied]]''. There was a scene where a little girl was in a house, and two firefighters came to get her, but she kills them both on the spot.
Line 13 ⟶ 16:
* [[Kirby]], at least according to ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''. Also, Gooey from the games, who is a piece of [[Eldritch Abomination|Dark Matter]] who broke off, turned good, and became Kirby's friend.
 
==Films -- Animation[[Film]] ==
* The Stitchpunks from ''[[9|Nine]]''.
* Besides Plushes, some of the ''[[WALL-E]]'' items are kinda creepy.
* Toothless from the ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (animation)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'' movie can switch from Cute to Fierce by changing the dilation of his eyespupils.
 
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* The Cybermat from ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It's a little silver thing that scoots around the floor. And then you see the razor-sharp teeth.
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Pokethulhu]]'' and ''[[Mortasheen]]'' display two very different ways to apply this to the [[Mons]] genre. The former is full of cute, adorable creatures that love to eat souls, while the latter is full of frightening, hideous monsters that become friendly and loyal when tamed.
 
== Videogames[[Video Games]] ==
* Some species of Heartless and Unversed from ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' fall into this trope. All are [[Eldritch Abominations]]; some happen to be adorable.
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* Erma, in ''[[Erma]]'', is a [[Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl]] grade-school student.
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
* ''[[Whateley Universe]]'' example: Josie Gilman's cute little black kittycat. It loves to be hugged, it loves to be fed, it... '''oh my god it's an [[Eldritch Abomination]] with a huge gaping maw!!!'''
** The cuddly stuffed cabbit Generator made for Tennyo should count too. Especially when the claws and fangs pop out.
* [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-999 SCP-999] from the ''[[SCP Foundation]]'' is arguably the friendliest SCP, it's a cute, happy, ball of yellow goo who loves giving people hugs. Only the 05 Council and their most trusted underlings know that SCP-999 is, in fact, the offspring of [[Big Bad|the Scarlet King]], making it a baby [[Eldritch Abomination]], and possibly the strongest weapon the Foundation would have against its father's apocalyptic goals.
** [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-053 SCP-053] is believed to be another offspring of the Scarlet King. While far more dangerous than SCP-999, she has the appearance, personality (and unfortunately, naivety) of a small child.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* This is what the people in charge of Heloise's personallity in ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' seem to want to protraiedprotrayed as. [[Rule of Funny|It]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|doesn't]] [[For the Lulz|work]]
